Hi Duncan,
There's a problem with your check-in for r72619 is causing "weak
external" symbols to appear in C++ code when it shouldn't. Take this
code for example,
#include <stdexcept>
void dummysymbol() {
throw(std::runtime_error("string"));
}
The c'tor for std::string is emitted as code from llvm-gcc. It is then
inlined. And a weak external for the `_S_construct' variable is
created. However, C++ rules stipulate that it shouldn't be, because of
explicit & implicit template instantiation rules that Doug knows about
but which makes my head spin.
I'm going to need to revert at least some of these changes. Could you
take a look at this and let me know your thoughts on it?
